“For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of Him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the Holy Angels”.

The conversation goes into discerning how each of us are called to share the Gospel (we're not all called to be public speakers), how to share the Gospel with humility instead of arrogance, and why are not to be ashamed of the Gospel.

Enjoy this week's episode!

2d:Tca0,

Noelle Mering, a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and author of "No Contact" & "Awake, Not Woke", traces the cultural forces behind the cultural trend to cut off family members. She shows how political conflict, gender ideology, and COVID disputes have helped turn ordinary tension into permanent rupture.

She also makes the case that the real danger isn't just fractured family ties - it's the way this mindset trains people to see disagreement as an attack on identity.

You'll discover:

- Why "no contact" is sometimes necessary, but often overused

- How boundaries stopped meaning "protect the relationship" and started meaning "protect myself"

- The difference between legitimate abuse and the social contagion of cutting people off

- Why politics and identity have become so tightly fused that disagreement feels personal

- How resentment, self-justification, and nonstop narrative-rehearsal keep wounds open

- What "high differentiation" means and how it helps people disagree without collapsing into fear

- Why levity, gratitude, and a strong family culture matter more than perfect arguments

In this episode of The Tangent, Fr. Sam and Matt sit down with Doug Barry — founder of RADIX, longtime EWTN host of Battle Ready and Life on the Rock — for a conversation about what Catholic manhood actually requires, naturally AND spiritually.

What we get into:

The difference between authentic Christian manhood and the "macho" counterfeit
Why demons are "lawyers from hell" — and what changes when the father of the house prays out loud
Pearl Harbor, December 8, 1941, and the quality of courage men have lost
Bailing water vs. plugging the holes in the boat: why confession alone isn't a strategy
Discipline as formation, and how physical training builds spiritual strength
A concrete day-one regimen — Mass, confession, adoration, the Rosary, fasting, mortification "Exodus 365" and how to offer up a bad knee, a traffic jam, or one more Zoom call
What St. Joseph teaches men about deep prayer and immediate obedience
The 85–90% statistic: what happens to kids' faith when DAD leads it, not just mom
Why "I'm sorry" is the hardest and most healing thing a father can say "No one cares about your bench press" — surrender, quiet desperation, and peace

Fr. Sam just got back from four days with the Missionaries of Charity in Washington, D.C. He and Matt discuss the retreat/seminar that he offered them, rehashing the topic: Mary's perfect humanity.

They go also discuss the origin story of the Missionaries of Charity, St. Mother Teresa's profound impact on the world, Fr. Sam's personal experience with Pope St. John Paul II and his experiencing of reading in front of (to?) Pope Benedict XVI.

The essence of the retreat was based off a quote from St. Mother Teresa, "We imitate Mary's spirit of loving trust, total surrender, and cheerfulness." Taking some cues from his training with Catholic Psych Institute, Fr. Sam breaks open how to imitate Our Lady's perfect humanity.

38:T417,

When you pray with another you open yourself before them and before God. The real intimacy & vulnerability that requires makes it one of the most worthwhile acts spouses can do together. It can also make it really difficult. That’s why Fr. Sam and I sat down with Deacon James Keating PhD to discuss his new book Spousal Prayer: A Way to Marital Happiness.

Deacon James answered plenty of our questions,

How should spouses pray together?

What if one spouse doesn’t want to pray with the other?

How does personal healing affect spousal prayer?

How can Spouses practically mimic Christ’s spousal love for the Church?

All this plus a story about my son wanting to bring balloons to Mass (don’t worry, we didn’t).

Thanks for listening to this week’s episode of the Tangent!

In Christ,

Matt Sperrazza

39:Td91,

Most Catholics know the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Far fewer know the quiet 17th-century Jesuit Saint who helped who helped to popularize it.

In this episode, translator Brandon Otto walks us through the life of St. Claude La Colombière, the French Jesuit and confessor to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque who helped spread devotion to the Sacred Heart. Brandon shares the saint's own words so we might grow in humility, mercy, and perseverance.

We get into St. Claude's interior struggle with vainglory, a true practical lesson for anyone trying to stay engaged with the world without being owned by it. In an age that runs on fame, image, and more stuff, his case for detachment and quiet, hands-on charity is powerful.

We also discuss two miracle stories. First a story about Blessed Solanus Casey and second a healing miracle Matt's mother received through the intercession of St. Joseph.

St. Claude's advice can help you live in the world without losing your soul!

Brandon Otto is the translator of Not of the World by St. Claude LaColombière

Along the way: Tolkien's Silmarillion, why you can't save yourself, sacred art and vestments, Zwingli's whitewashed walls, and the abbey's first abbot election in 30 years.

3c:T1293,

Pope Leo XIV just released his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, on artificial intelligence and human dignity — and in this episode of The Tangent, Matt Sperrazza and Fr. Sam explain what it actually says and why it matters.

Released in May 2026 and presented by the Pope himself alongside Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah, Magnifica Humanitas is the most significant Catholic teaching document on AI to date. But what does the Church really teach about technology, and why would an atheist AI leader ask the Vatican for ethical guidance?

We walk through the whole thing in plain language. In this episode you’ll learn:

• What a papal encyclical is — and what it is not (it doesn’t change Church law)

• Why the tech industry is turning to the Catholic Church for an ethical framework

• How “the medium is the message” applies to AI — and the danger of treating people like data

• Why Pope Leo told parents to think twice about giving kids smartphones

• What Catholic social teaching (Rerum Novarum, the common good, subsidiarity, solidarity) has to do with AI

• Whether technology is morally neutral

• The Pope’s warning about transhumanism, suffering, and what makes us human

• Why AI can’t replace real art, real creativity, or real human connection

• The “hermeneutic of continuity” — and how Leo is teaching us to read Pope Francis Whether you’re Catholic, curious, a parent, or someone working in tech, this is a clear, faithful, and surprisingly funny guide to the questions AI is forcing all of us to ask.

January Donovan, founder of the Woman School, joins Fr. Sam Kachuba and Matt Sperrazza to discuss her healing journey and the need she sees for formation for women in the United States (and internationally!)

About January: January Donovan is the founder of The Woman School, a Mindset and Skill-based training for women. The School grew from 0-40+ countries in just 3 years because of the massive transformation women were achieving through the programs, community, and mentorship.

January is also leading a Feminine Revival, a global movement dedicated to reclaiming femininity in a culture that has lost its moral and formative compass. At a time when women are more educated and empowered than ever, yet increasingly overwhelmed, fragmented, and unfulfilled, January offers a proven and scalable solution to the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual crisis women are facing today.

Her message is neither a return to fragile femininity nor an embrace of vicious feminism, but a bold vision for a flourishing future for women through formation. She is on a mission to restore women's original design as nurturers of humanity and become pillars to raise the standard of culture.

Dr. Jennifer Bryson joins the Tangent to discuss the life of Ida Görres, the author of Bread Grows in Winter. In the words of Ignatius Press,

"Ida Friederike Görres was one of the brightest, most penetrating Catholic writers in twentieth-century Europe. Bishop Erik Varden has called her “a treasure we should again make our own”, while Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI), at her funeral, labeled her a “brave and faithful woman”, with “an insightful certainty . . . about the pressing questions and tasks of the Church today”. Yet her work is almost entirely unknown in the English-speaking world today."

Dr. Jennifer Bryson earned a BA from Stanford University in Political Science, an MA from Yale University in History, and a PhD from Yale in Greco-Arabic and Islamic Studies from the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. As an undergraduate at Stanford, she studied Marxism-Leninism for two semesters at the Karl Marx University in the former East Germany.

Dr. Jennifer S. Bryson is a Fellow in Catholic Studeies at the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) in Washington, DC. She is currently translating and studying works by the Catholic authors Ida Friederike Görres (1901–1971), Joseph Görres (1776–1848), Joseph Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI), and Oda Schneider (1892–1987) from German to English. In 1934, Schneider published the first book ever against the ordination of women.

Dr. George Delgado is the medical director of Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) and of Culture of Life Family Health Care.

Dr. Delgado published the first peer-reviewed article in the medical literature describing the reversal of mifepristone (RU 486) using progesterone. He then established Abortion Pill Reversal, a program that connects women who have changed their minds after taking mifepristone (RU 486) and want to reverse the effects of the abortion pill. APR also seeks to refine and improve the treatment protocols for reversing mifepristone.

His book Abortion Pill Reversal: A Second Chance at Choice is available through Ignatius Press.

In this conversation Fr.

They talk about how the media often portrays the poor in a negative light, share how encountering the poor involves understanding their stories and go over why the call to care for the poor is universal and timeless.

Much of this conversation is also spent discussing the influence that Pope Francis had on the document, parsing out which parts Pope Leo XIV may have influenced the most.

In this episode, Fr. Sam shares his profound experiences from a recent pilgrimage, highlighting the spiritual depth and historical significance of several key locations. The journey begins with a visit to Rome, where Fr. Sam attends a Papal audience. He describes the powerful sense of unity and spiritual fatherhood felt in the presence of the Pope, who, with his American-accented English, connects deeply with the pilgrims. This moment underscores the Pope's role as a spiritual leader for Catholics worldwide, emphasizing the importance of prayer, particularly the rosary, during the month of October.

The pilgrimage continues to Assisi, where Fr. Sam participates in the Transitus, a celebration marking the passing of St. Francis. The experience is enriched by the presence of the Italian President, highlighting the deep-rooted Catholic traditions in Italian society. Fr. Sam reflects on the significance of Assisi as a pilgrimage site, noting the large number of pilgrims and the spiritual renewal it offers. The visit to the tomb of St. Francis provides a moment of reflection and connection with the saint's legacy.

A highlight of the journey is the visit to Orvieto, home to the Eucharistic miracle that occurred in 1263. Fr. Sam recounts the story of the miracle, where a priest's doubts about transubstantiation were dispelled when the host began to bleed. This event led to the establishment of the Feast of Corpus Christi. The pilgrimage also includes a stop at Loreto, where the Holy House of Nazareth is believed to have been miraculously transported by angels. Fr. Sam shares the historical and archaeological evidence supporting this tradition, emphasizing the house's significance as a place of prayer and reflection.

Throughout the pilgrimage, Fr. Sam experiences moments of spiritual fatherhood, particularly when introducing his parishioners to the tomb of St. Pius X. This act of guiding his community to meet their patron saint reflects the deeper calling of his priesthood—to lead others to a closer relationship with Jesus. The pilgrimage, filled with unexpected encounters and spiritual insights, becomes a journey of personal and communal growth, leaving a lasting impact on Fr. Sam and his fellow pilgrims.

Per usual, many Tangents were taken, so this week we discuss everything from the Rosary, to the difference between ascetical and mystical prayer, to how one can properly dispose oneself to receive the grace of mystical prayer. Fr. Daniel also shares some insight on discernment from his own vocation journey.

In this conversation, Father Sam and Matt discuss the tragedy of Charlie Kirk's murder. They cover martyrdom, civility in discourse, and the impact of ideas on society. They also discuss the distinction between objective truth and subjective experience (why relativism is false but subjective experience is true), the role of humility in arguments, and how faith influences political discourse. The dialogue emphasizes the need for empathy, understanding, and the importance of engaging in civil discussions, especially in a polarized society.
